SAILBOAT KITS
HATCH

Sailboat Kits Hatch

The Bezier 28 hatch below is innovative in its design. Its companionway hatch was designed to allow standing headroom in the main cabin and especially at the galley. The hatch is more than twice the length usually seen on sailboat designs.

The hatch design is stylish and allows the Bezier 28 to retain the purpose of the design, a classic day-sailor designed to turn heads!



Below is an enlarged view of the hatch section.
